If you have 2 internal hardrive,
primary has windows XP running on
secondary has data,
and data from drive 2 is deleted then where do these deleted files form drive 2 get stored to?
to a section of the 'primary drive' (deleted section) , or somewhere on the secondary file?
windows is running on the primary drive.

How did you delete them? If you sent them to the recycle bin then they will be stored in there. There should be a recycle bin icon on the desktop, and double clicking it will show the contents. I can't remember whether files on secondary drives are eligible to be placed in the recycle bin though, I have a feeling they are not.
If you actually deleted them (eg by selecting the file, then pressing shift+delete) then they will not be stored anywhere. The entry for the file will be removed from the file system and the blocks the file is stored in will be free to be used for other files.0 -
